What this is about
The ParaMed is the crew’s medical device: it shows the target’s condition, doses over a short distance and can be pointed at yourself. The values here come from the game data,q1 the operation from the hint textsq2 and the controls.q3
The device
Raw values without unit. “Range” and “sensor range” are the values of the healing beam actions.
| Name | Manufacturer | Range target | Range self | Sensor range | µSCU per second |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ParaMed Medical Device | CureLife | 2.5 | 1.5 | 20 | 10 |
Numbers are game values; where the data names no unit, neither do we.
In the game data the device counts as a personal weapon of size “small” – so it sits in your hand like a tool and is triggered through the fire function.q1 It is refilled with the ParaMed refill, a vial of med gel.q2
Self or target
The game data knows two actions: Heal with mode “target” and SelfHeal with mode “self”.q1 Switching is done, according to the game text, with change fire mode; the control hint then reads “aim at self”.q2q3
Diagnostics
Once you have a valid target, the AR display shows additional information about its health status.q2 That lets you see what the person suffers from before you dose – and whether a dose makes sense at all.
Treating others
Basic mode doses by itself and keeps a safety limit on the blood drug level: targets with a critical BDL cannot be treated in that mode.q2 Advanced mode lets you set agent and dosage yourself and bypasses that limit – the game text explicitly advises caution.q2 In both modes: every dose raises the target’s BDL.q2
For auto and clear of the target dosage the game text describes dedicated buttons on the display; the display is operated through aiming, interaction mode and selection.q2q3
